Hi.. I am looking for a place to play around kondapur / madhapur (max within 10 kms ). Currently playing at gopichand academy. They charge 300/hr per court now. Looking for a cheaper alternative. Jayabheri, I heard requires a hefty annual membership which is out of question. It will be really helpful if someone can shed some light on the alternatives.

I've been playing at the Gachibowli Stadium regularly for about 6 months now. A membership is required to play. For getting said membership, there's a one-time non-refundable registration fee of Rs. 1000 and for every month (including the first) you need to pay Rs. 1000. So, it costs like 2000 for the first month and 1000 from the next month onward.

The stadium is superbly constructed and is truly breathtaking -- no wonder it was chosen to host the 2009 Badminton World Championships. Playing on the same courts where players like Lin Dan and Saina Nehwal played is an awesome feeling. Speaking of courts, there is a provision for a total of 10 courts (6 wooden + 4 synthetic) in there but right now only 6 courts (4 wooden + 2 synthetic) are provided with nets. Play timings are from 6AM to 9AM and 5PM to 8PM. The coach, Mr. Kiran, is a really nice guy and coaches kids and adults for an extra fee. For those who are interested, there's a swimming pool nearby where swimming lessons are offered.

You can contact Mr. Kiran at +91-9247666220 or send me a PM if you need any clarification.

I'm 32 and have never touched a badminton racket in my life. Looking for a solid coach to provide 2hrs instruction a week at a court in and around HITEC (e.g. Gopichand, Gachibowli, etc.).

I am taking up badminton as my sports club back home in Nepal is starting a badminton development program, so I want to be more familiar with the game. Ideally, I would love to have a coach who is also very familiar with badminton youth development, but it's certainly not a requirement.

Good article how come I missed out.....silly me. Definitely worth needs a mention......but as far as my knowledge goes.......goverdhan was the coach who pillared her, though Mehboob Ali might be the one who laid a good foundation for her.

though saina does not take the lead to atleast thank them even in the wildest of her dreams.....there is no harm in mentioning the mentors and acknowledge their efforts. Atleast thats the least she can do for her being in this stature of what she is today.

Badminton groups

Thanks
